Dear Reader,
There is a fundamental rule in finance that most of us overlook. There are only two sources of income.
The first is Active Income. This is your job, your consultancy, or your business. You trade your time, skill, and effort for money. It is essential, but it has a limit because you only have 24 hours in a day.
The second is Passive Income. This is when your money goes to work so you don't have to.
The Betting on Tomorrow
If you ask yourself one simple question, you can understand the future of wealth. Will the next generation consume more goods and services than we do today?.
If the answer is yes, then the companies producing these goods will grow, and the stock market indices like Sensex and Nifty will climb.
Consider this. In 1979, the Sensex started at a base of 100. Today, it trades over 84,000. That is a growth of over 840 times in 46 years.
The Roadmap to “Work Optional”
You do not need to be a financial wizard to participate in this growth. Historically, the skill required to make money in the stock market over the long run is nearly zero if you bet on the economy as a whole.
But simply buying isn't enough. You need to know:
- When to buy: Understanding when the market is "fearful" versus "greedy" using the Market Cap to GDP ratio.
- How to plan: Structuring your corpus so that your passive income eventually replaces your active salary.
We invite you to the Free Financial Freedom Awareness Session by The Economic Times.
In this session, we move beyond generic advice and focus on a mathematical, data-driven approach to building a corpus that allows you to own your time.
Date: 14 December, Sunday
